No Night Tube until 2022

LONDON’S Transport Commissioner Andy Byford has ruled out the Night Tube service returning this year, even though nightclubs and other businesses that benefit from through-the-night trains could reopen from June 21.

One reason stated for not reintroducing it is that all drivers are needed to run as many day services as possible, when demand is higher.

“We need the personnel to keep the day services going and frankly there isn’t the demand for it,” said Byford.

“Securing the whole network is more important than keeping the Night Tube going.”
